I appreciate your response, but basically you're saying there's nothing out there that handles the Redis side of failover, and I DO need to write custom scripts that handle all that, right? I can do that, but it seems odd to me that no one has done that and made them available already. The reason I asked here, is I've seen lots of people posting about using Redis here, so I figured there would be some smart people with experience with the product. Googling for that phrase (which I did before I posted here), gives me the same three answers I listed in my initial question, none of which are very satisfactory.

(write a custom client) And so on. Honestly none of that is useful. I can't be the only person out there who needs automatic failover for a production environment:( If I have to be the first person to write those scripts, that's fine, but it seems like someone must have done this before me.
